Biundo Finds Work

Meridian Communications, started by Jack Heath and Mike Biundo, has been hired by former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson. Biundo told The Union Leader that Meridian "will handle all aspects of the campaign. His conservative credentials and long history as a reliable conservative plays well in New Hampshire, is right for the country and fits who we are." Readers might remember Meridian for being the campaign managers for failed GOP gubernatorial candidate Jim Coburn.

Or you might remember Meridian from their upset victory in 05' with now Mayor Frank Guinta. I am sure that is what former Mayor Bob Baines remembers most.

Or you might remember Biundo for spending $1 million of Coburn's cash to get 26% and dragging down the entire Republican ticket in 2006. I am sure that is what former Congressmen Jeb Bradley and Charlie Bass remember most.

I do remember the AWESOME VICTORY Biundo brought conservatives throughout the 90s, especially with Pat Buchanan in '96. No one has anything on the Meridian guys when it comes to winning the NH Primary. Although hats off to Mike Dennehy which by the way are the only ones to win a GOP Presidential Primary in over 10 years!! Go get 'em Mike!!!

can we stop praising Biundo for his work with Buchanan in '96? He had a low level campaign position -- hardly the architect of his victory. Let us also remember that Frank's victory was as much Baines's arrogance as it was Frank's message. Baines thought of himself as Congressman Baines not Mayor Baines and that's what did him in. And encouraging Jim Coburn when there were others who could have garnered more than 26% of the vote so that you could get a paycheck! Perhaps, Jeb Bradley would still be Congressman Bradley if it wasn't for you. Face the facts Mike, you are not one of the "top regional political strategists." You couldn't even win your own re-election!
